Baby shower bingo keeps guests busy while the parents open gifts. Each guest gets a 5 by 5 card filled with baby items. When the parents open a gift that matches a square, guests mark it. The first guest with five marked squares in a row wins.
How to play
1. Hand out the cards. Every guest needs a different card, or several guests will win at once. Give each guest a pen.
2. Mark as the gifts are opened. When a gift matches a square, for example a pack of diapers or a bottle, guests mark that square. The middle square is free and counts for everyone.
3. Five in a row wins. Across, down or corner to corner. The winner calls "Bingo!" and reads the five squares out so you can check them.
4. Keep going if you like. Play on for a second winner, or for the first full card.

Tips for big and small showers
For 10 guests or fewer, a full card makes the game last longer. For 25 to 30 guests, play for a single line and have a second small prize ready, because two guests often finish at the same moment. Our pack has 30 different cards, so it covers showers of up to 30 guests; for more, some guests will share a card design. Print one or two spare cards for guests who arrive late.
